Full Changelog: 1.4.6...1.4.7

New Contributors

• @kiddden made their first contribution in #48
• @ValentinPetrulia made their first contribution in #53

More Details

• Full Documentation: SwiftUI-UDF is now fully documented with code examples, detailed descriptions, and usage guides.
• BindableReducer/BindableContainer: You can now mark any reducer as @BindableReducer and bind it to a BindableContainer. This allows dynamic creation and removal of reducers based on the container’s lifecycle. Recursive transitions and simultaneous instances of multiple containers are now fully supported. UDF will create as many reducers as there are instances of BindableContainer.
• Global Router Update: Aligned with iOS 18 changes, the router lifecycle has been updated. The navigationDestination(for routing:) method replaces the older navigationDestination(router:) and should now be placed as high in the view hierarchy as possible.
• macOS Support: Improved macOS compatibility—no more errors.
• Delayed Action: Added a new with(delay:) modifier, allowing delays for individual actions or ActionGroups.
• Hooks: Introduced a Hook entity with HookBuilder, enabling conditional execution of code blocks based on custom triggers. Define hooks via overridden useHook in a container, and initialize them with init or static functions.
• Subscribe method in Store is now synchronous. The subscribeAsync method is deprecated and will be removed in v1.5.0.
• Store Optimizations: Improved stability and increased StoreQueue throughput, doubling the number of actions processed concurrently.

And of course 100500 improvements and minor updates.

1.4.6 - GlobalRouting

In UDF 1.4.6, the navigation system receives a major upgrade with the introduction of GlobalRouting.

This new approach provides a streamlined way to control navigation flow, offering deep integration with SwiftUI via the Environment(.globalRouter) or predefined actions. The system enhances flexibility by allowing developers to manipulate the navigation stack, handle deep links, and reset navigation with ease—making it a powerful tool for building dynamic, navigable apps.

What was done:

• Navigation Overhaul: Introduced GlobalRouting to facilitate robust, programmatic control over SwiftUI navigation. This system provides access to navigation through Environment(\.globalRouter) or predefined actions, offering extensive capabilities such as stack management, deep linking, and resetting the navigation state.
• Typed and Untyped Navigation Actions: Expanded with Actions.NavigateTyped and Actions.Navigate for flexible manipulation of navigation stacks from anywhere in the app.
• UDF Alert Enhancements: The new AlertActionBuilder simplifies the process of constructing alerts with customizable actions and introduces support for AlertTextField, enabling input fields in alerts. AlertButton now allows buttons to specify roles via ButtonRole.
• OrderedDictionary Enhancements: Now supports the mergeable protocol, improving data handling.
• ActionGroup Builder Improvements: Now handles optionals, allowing conditional action construction.

Previous Release Enhancements:

• XCTestStore Update: Decoupled from MainActor, now utilizing its own globalActor.
• New Test Utilities: Added XCTUnwrapAsync for unwrapping async values, and enhanced get wait functionality for test cases.
• Middleware Enhancements: Unified Concurrency and Combine middleware, with the introduction of MiddlewareBuilder for streamlined and flexible middleware construction and segmentation of subscription blocks.

And of course 100500 improvements and minor updates.

1.4.0 - Concurrency

Swift Concurrency on board!
We have been working for a long time on preparing a huge release with many changes, optimizations and upgrades to the SwiftUI-UDF Architecture.
And now, UDF architecture has got concurrency support for the Middleware layer!

What was done:

• Store is getting smarter and smarter and becomes an Actor to guarantee and sync state mutations and accesses;
• Middleware layer got separation on BaseMiddleware (Combine version) and BaseConcurrencyMiddleware (Swift Concurrency) with separation on Observable/Reducible;
• All types of middlewares got the Environment to describe dependencies and build them in the buildLiveEnvironment and buildTestEnvironment methods;
• Container got a new re-rendering system to control which part of the State mutation would cause a re-rendering. The scope of work;
  func scope(for state: SourceOfTruth<ContainerState>) -> Scope
• Animations support. Since now we can add animation modifier for Action use withAnimation function;
  Actions.SomeAction().withAnimation(.linear)
• Silent action. We have added the option to dispatch an action without logging to the loggers. Use silent function, such action won't be logged to loggers.
• New logging system. ActionLogger, ActionFilter, ActionDescriptor to be able to dynamically add any loggers (Console, Crashlytics, Files, etc).
• InitialSetup protocol. If some reducer needs the State for initial setup.
  func initialSetup(with state: State)
• XCTestStore is MainActor since now.

And of course 100500 improvements and minor updates.
Keep Coding!

1.3.2 - macOS support

Merge pull request #2 from Maks-Jago/feature/macOS-support

macOS support

1.3.0 - Relamquad

This release is the biggest update UDF has ever had!

We've done great work in analyzing and upgrading all aspects of UDF development to provide more and more tools for fast, scalable, and independent apps building.

What was done:

• Middleware layer got huge updates. ObservableMiddleware came to replace Sync/Async middlewares, which is smarter and easier in use.
• ObservableMiddleware It has one new method override func scope(for state: SourceOfTruth<State>) -> Scope, the aim of which is to provide a 'scope of work'. The middleware will only observe the changes of reducers mentioned in the scope method and ignore other app state changes. The Scope method is required to be overridden in all ObservableMiddleware subclasses;
• Scope can be combined up to 5 reducers Scopes.Combined(...);
• Also, the Middleware layer has got one new player - is ReducibleMiddleware. The main difference is that the ReducibleMiddleware is a reducer in the middleware world, that doesn't observe any flows and reduce the actions in the open func reduce(_ action: AnyAction);
• The Store is getting smarter and smarter. Since 1.3.0 Store can decide to group dispatched actions, monitor State changes and control the numbers of SwiftUI Views re-rendering, middlewares calls, and can ignore some actions if State is not mutated;
• The View layer got Routing as a protocol for navigating between containers and Router class to manage navigation;
• A new action Actions.DidCancelEffect, that is called when the Middleware cancels an effect;
• Testing-testing-testing.XCTestStore it's a new Store for using only in the Unit tests, which works in sync mode and on the main thread;

And of course 100500 improvements and minor updates.
Keep Coding!
